Episode notes
Flip The Give-Get Paradigm
- The give-get paradigm means every concession you make must procure something in return.
- Flipping it means get a commitment before offering discounts so prospects can't anchor you first.
Confirm Vendor Of Choice First
- Confirm you're the vendor of choice before negotiating on price.
- Ask: "If all quotes were equal, would you move forward with us?" to validate negotiation rights.
Negotiation Rights Come From Preference
- Starting negotiations without vendor preference hands leverage to competitors.
- Earning the right to negotiate prevents your discounted quote from being copied and matched elsewhere.
